Mon seul plaisir
Language: French (Français) after the French (Français)
Mon seul plaisir, ma doulce joye,
La maistresse de mon espoir,
J'ay tel desir de vous veoir
Que dire ne le vous saroye.
Helas, panses que ne pourroye
Nesun bien sans vous recevoir,
Mon seul plaisir, ma doulce joye,
La maistresse de mon espoir.
Car, quant desplaisir me guerroye
Souventes fois de son povoir,
Et je vueil reconfort avoir,
Esperance vers vous j'envoye.
Mon seul plaisir, ma doulce joye,
La maistresse de mon espoir,
J'ay tel desir de vous veoir
Que dire ne le vous saroye.

My sole pleasure
Language: English after the French (Français)
My sole pleasure, my sweet joy,
The mistress of my hope,
I have such desire to see you
That I cannot put it into words for you.
Alas, consider that I could not
Receive any good without you,
My sole pleasure, my sweet joy,
The mistress of my hope.
For when sorrow attacks me
Many times with his power,
And I wish to be comforted
I turn my hope toward you.
My sole pleasure, my sweet joy,
The mistress of my hope,
I have such desire to see you
That I cannot put it into words for you.
